Our certified massage therapists specialize in several massage therapy techniques:

Swedish massage: A style of massage that works with the rhythm of the breath to gently yet effectively ease into areas of tightness while delivering less intensity than a deep tissue massage. Swedish massage utilizes five techniques: effleurage, petrissage, tapotement, friction/cross-fiber, and vibration to loosen muscle tension.

Trigger point therapy: Often referred to as a “knot”, a trigger point is a hypersensitive spot in a muscle that can refer pain locally or to another area of the body. These referral patterns are specifically mapped out and may even be the key to finding underlying causes of chronic pain. Trigger point therapy is a targeted massage approach that helps to loosen the tension in knots and bring pain relief and increased range of motion.

Cupping: A traditional Chinese modality nicknamed for the small suction cups used—and known for its distinctive temporary circular marks—cupping has become popular as a highly effective therapy for athletes and those who suffer from chronic pain. It offers quick improvement in circulation and can be achieved with various techniques and equipment. A thorough health history screening and signed release form will be required.

Minor’s massage: Introducing safe, healthy options for self-care early in life is paramount for building a sense of well-being and providing support for ongoing mental and physical health. Massage for minors is an age-appropriate and effective treatment for participants under the age of 18. A parental release form will be required, and sessions will be supervised by a legal guardian.
